Liège (Belgium),  November 13,  2008,  EVS Broadcast  Equipment  S.A.
(Euronext Brussels:  EVS.BR,  Bloomberg: EVS  BB,  Reuters:  EVSB.BR)
(Pinksheets:  EVBEF),  the  leader  in  Professional  Digital   Video
applications for  Live, Near-Live  and  Studio TV  Production,  today
reported its results  for the  third quarter ("3Q08")  and the  first
nine months ("9M08") of 2008.


Key highlights

Pierre L'Hoest, CEO of EVS  said: "2008 is the  best year so far  for
EVS. Not only our business reaches  new heights but our products  and
our service teams have demonstrated their strengths and  flexibility,
especially  around  Beijing  2008,  that  has  been  the  biggest  TV
production ever. We are currently accelerating the development of new
solutions and products to improve  the workflow of our customers.  In
2009, 2010  and  beyond,  EVS  shall continue  to  benefit  from  the
structural long term growth drivers like tapeless transition,  higher
TV production  efficiency  requirements,  high  definition  and  more
diversified TV sports."

Commenting on  the  results  and perspectives,  Jacques  Galloy,  CFO
added: "In this third quarter, both sales and profit were at a record
level, positively impacted by the  EUR 6.9 million rental  agreements
relating to the Beijing  Olympics. As a  consequence and despite  the
weaker order book, we confirm our double-digit growth year for  2008.
Next year is an odd year  without any major sporting event and  shall
be a transition year. Whether the economic downturn might affect  our
business over  time  will depend  on  the  depth and  length  of  the
downturn. Typically,  our sports  driven business,  which  represents
most of our revenue has been somewhat resistant to economic downturns
but fluctuates according to specific  sport event patterns while  the
company is  continuously  gaining  market shares  in  the  TV  Studio
production market."
